Judges 4:1-16

In the north of the country, the enemy of former times has regrouped under the same name – Jabin – and in the same capital city – Hazor (see Joshua 11:1). And this enemy oppresses Israel for twenty years. We should be careful not to lose the fruit of the victories of our predecessors. The people have to fight all over again and Deborah, a woman, who is a prophetess, is used by the LORD to judge and deliver the people. Believing women and young girls, never think you are set to one side in the Assembly services. Certainly it is not a woman’s place to "usurp authority over the man", nor to speak publicly in the assembly (1 Timothy 2:12; 1 Corinthians 14:34). But how many people have obtained remarkable deliverances through the prayers of Christian women!

Deborah calls Barak but he lacks courage. He needs to lean on someone. His trust in God is not sufficient for him to do without human help (see Psalms 146:3). Our courage always depends on the measure of trust we have in the Lord. If we lack courage, let us do as the apostles did in Acts 4. They asked God for "all boldness" (v. 29) and by the Spirit they received it (v. 31).
